MIDEAST PALESTINIANS LOCAL ELECTIONS
Supporters of Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement celebrate the unofficial victory of their party in the local elections along the streets of the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah near the border with Egypt, Thursday, May 5, 2005. Palestinians voted for local councils in 84 towns and villages throughout the West Bank and Gaza. Exit polls by expert Khalil Shikaki said Fatah was leading in six of the first 14 West Bank locations he examined, while Hamas led in two. Fatah claimed victory in Rafah, a town on the Gaza-Egypt border hard hit during four years of Palestinian-Israeli violence, and in another five of the eight Gaza voting districts. Election officials could not independently confirm the claims. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
